TODAY I WATCHED (Movies, TV Shows) 2016

Stargate SG1 - first season

True Grit - 2010 version

X-Files season 1,episode 13

"Eden" (2015)


After their plane crashes on a remote tropical island, the members of a pro soccer team proceed to go all "Lord of the Flies" on each other as hunger and thirst begin to take their toll. An entertaining, but mostly predictable thriller.

"Mission Bloody Mary" (1965)



More Euro-spy fun from Italy. This is the first of three Italian/French co-productions starring American bit player Ken Clark as Dick Malloy, aka "Agent 077" (groooan!).
Just in case you're keeping score, this series of films has no relation to the OTHER trilogy of Italian made James Bond knockoffs which starred American bit player Richard Harrison as a totally different American spy whose code number was also "077." Glad we cleared that up.
Anyway, Clark is sent across Europe to track down a stolen nuclear device from a spy organization called the "Black Lily," tangles with a bunch of Russian and Red Chinese spies and of course scores with a couple of hot '60s chicks. The action is slow moving and the dubbed English dialogue is hilariously awkward but I'm addicted to these cheap spy movies so it was an entertaining way to kill a lazy afternoon.

How was that?  It looks great from the trailers and everything I've read about it.

It was good, but you might not like the ending. Which is pretty much all I can say without spoiling everything. Ha!

Later tonight I am going to watch more episodes of "Z Nation"

"Fantastic Lies"

Another great ESPN 30 for 30 doc this time about the Duke Lacrosse rape case.

Badass episode. Too bad that redhead chick (obviously) won't be back, she was great. Haha

Yeah. I recognized her but couldn't place her so I checked it out and turns out I've seen her in a ton of different things.

I recognized her too (I have a thing for redheads, haha) but it wasn't till after the show and she was on "Talking Dead" that I remembered where I knew her from. She was the Final Girl in the first "Urban Legend" movie, which I just saw not that long ago.

Big Eyes


Tim Burton has been busy ruining his reputation over the last few years, but this film was very good. It's the most least-Burton like film he's done in some time, with just a few subtle nods to his usual style. And not one sighting of Johnny Depp in some ridiculous get-up. I enjoyed it.

LOTR - The Two Towers Extended Edition

Gotham

Penguin is out of the asylum and he's certified as "sane".  Uh oh...

"Stuck!" (2009)


Wrongly accused of matricide, an innocent Southern belle is sentenced to hang and is sent to await her fate on Death Row in a womens' prison full of bizarre inmates (including former Go-Go Jane Wiedlin!) and brutal guards.

This ultra low budget, shot-in-B&W, campy on purpose (at least I think it was on purpose) ode to '50s style "Women in Prison" flicks wants to be sleazy and shocking ala John Waters (longtime Waters associate Mink Stole even plays one of the inmates) but it never seems to figure out whether it's supposed to be a spoof or not.  
Avoid.

Even though it's been off the air for some time, the wife & I just started watching HBO's 'The Wire'. We're 7 episodes into Season 1. Starts off a little slow, but I can see things are starting to pick up. We'll see if I can make it through all 5 seasons/60 episodes.

 Have you ever seen the other "Stuck" by Stuart "Re-animator" Gordon?  It's really good.  Not exactly a horror movie though.
